Hi there. My wife was recently diagnosed with a non-invasive, high-grade tumor in her bladder. Next month she will be having chemo.
Two questions:
1) Why would the urologist still recommend that her bladder be removed?
Also, they installed a nephro-ureteral catheter, because her right kidney had not been able to drain due to blockage. That catheter will be replaced by a stent next week. Meanwhile we need to inject a saline solution daily. A tricky procedure. There is a 3way stopcock. The urine goes into a bag when the lever is upright. When we inject, I move the lever in a flat position, pointed toward the bag. But the solution never seems to go into the kidney, but always downward toward the bag. If I point the lever flat and toward the kidney, the solution spills out.
2) How do you properly do that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
